MEGA MAN X3: Mega Man X3 MSU-1 Audio Super Nintendo

  • ~
  • Share
This patch adds support for CD quality audio to Mega Man X3 and Mega Man X3 Zero Project using MSU-1 chip invented by byuu. So far, it is only supported and tested on bsnes, higan and the SD2SNES flashcart.

If the MSU-1 is not detected, the patch plays the original music, thus the patch works on all emulators (but it is less fun to listen to).

The link to the audio pack is included in the README file. It uses the PS1/Saturn music that was edited for looping and volume boosting.

Mega Man X3 MSU-1 hack
Version 1.1
by DarkShock

This hack adds CD quality audio to Mega Man X3 and Mega Man X3 Zero Project using the MSU-1 chip invented by byuu.
The hack has been tested on SD2SNES, bsnes-plus and higan 094. The patched ROM needs to be named mmx3_msu1.sfc.

Note they are 4 IPS patches:
- mmx3_msu1_emulator.ips is the one to use for proper volume in emulators.
- mmx3_msu1.ips is for the SD2SNES
- mmx3_msu1_zero_emulator.ips is for Zero Project to use in emulators
- mmx3_msu1_zero.ips is for Zero Project to use on the SD2SNES

Original specs of the ROM:
